France24 and the US Mid-Terms: America Decides

While the counting of America's mid-terms was going on, France 24 decided to seek out the voices of America (or, at least those American voices in Paris like the Republicans' Judith Bingham and the Democrats' Zachary Miller).

US mid-terms: America decides

It’s finally time for America to decide. Millions of people are voting in today's mid-term elections, the results of which will determine the political landscape for years to come. President Barack Obama's Democratic Party is braced for its worst results in a generation. So is this a referendum on the president? Or on the economy? Or both?
